I hired Taj for my friends 10-year anniversary party exceeded our expectations in every way. He skillfully blended a diverse range of music genres to keep the dance floor packed all night. His ability to read the crowd and adjust the playlist accordingly was impressive. The sound and lighting setup added a fantastic atmosphere to the event. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to celebrate this special milestone

Taj did a great job as our wedding DJ! Despite the unexpected rain on our big day, he handled the changes with no problem. His ability to seamlessly mix different genres was a hit with all of our guests, especially the out of town guests who couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had. During cocktails and dinner, he played all of our requested songs, setting the perfect mood for each moment. Not to mention, his friendly and professional demeanor made working with him easy. Thank you for helping make our wedding day so memorable!

Taj is the best! He really went the extra yard to make the event a happy celebration and so much fun for everyone! It was truly unforgettable! In a really good way! Lol 😁 We all danced night away. Also, his picture booth was amazing! When look at all the cool & fun pics we had taken I get to relive the fun & good times all over again in my mind! 😄

Taj is great! We hired him through the venue, 1442 in Sacramento, for our Vow Renewal. He played the type of music we requested, but what was really helpful was he required little hand-holding… we simply told him what we wanted and gave him a few songs, and he took it from there. As someone who values aesthetics, his set-up and lighting were a perfect fit for the vibe we were going for. This was all planned on short notice so his prompt responsiveness, friendliness, professionalism and understanding of our needed
helped bring our vision to life. If you’re looking for a DJ I 100% recommend Taj. He’s going to show up early and do a great job. You won’t be disappointed.

Taj was very professional, he did my nieces wedding. My niece is young and very indecisive, Taj took the time patiently to listen to her story and support her & the groom in developing an effective playlist. He came early to the venue to see the tone of the space then set up accordingly for optimal flow. Once the music was started, he was actively involved. Him & his assistant were very attentive to the guest. They even had an option to add a Photo Booth and we took advantage of it. We plan on using him for our next event.

Taj was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him if your are planning a special event. He helped make our day very specialized:)

Taj is the best in the business. Book him right now before it's too late! We were connected with Taj via our wedding planner when our original DJ had to cancel at the last minute. He saved the day for us! With only a few weeks until the wedding, Taj came in with the best attitude and put us at ease. The second we got on the phone with him, we knew we had to move forward immediately. We were very clear we wanted a party, we wanted everyone on the dance floor the entire time, and we wanted a wide range of music. Taj did not disappoint.
During the three hour dance party I had countless guests come up to me saying, "This guy is amazing!" and "This is so much fun!" Even weeks after the wedding, people were still talking about how great Taj was. Our reception wouldn't not have been so amazing without Taj constantly reading the vibe of the room to decide where to go next with the music. He is positive, a great communicator, and so incredibly talented - he was open to listening to our vision and executed it perfectly - down to the second. Whatever you are looking for in a DJ, just know that Taj can do it, do it well, and do it with the most fun attitude. Will recommend again and again!

I’m pretty sure I started my conversation with Taj with the words, “We need a DJ for my daughter’s wedding in 3 months and we are very boring and don’t like to dance. Can you help us?” His response? No problem. And you know what? It was NO PROBLEM. Taj and his crew were absolutely wonderful through the entire process.
Early and frequent conversations helped us communicate through most decisions well ahead of time, even when we didn’t really know what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, I hardly talked to Taj at all - he knew what he needed to do and I was free to do what I wanted to do - enjoy the party!
Taj managed the sound for the outside ceremony (including providing two microphones and a stand for the officiant), worked with my Zoom connection for the ceremony, and absolutely brought the party for the indoor reception. The photo booth with the custom balloon arch and background were SO MUCH FUN! They arrived early and set up well in advance of when we needed them and were cautious to safely tape down and store any wires.
The value added by the presence of his team was more than I could have ever expected or asked for. Taj’s wife Michelle didn’t sit down the entire event and they are 100% invited to any future party I throw - as guests! The pictures and videos they took are among my favorites so far.
I really didn’t think we could pull off the kind of fun wedding reception that I was seeing in Taj’s Instagram Reels, but I have never been so happy to be so wrong. It turns out we DO like to dance, we just needed the right DJ.

There are DJ’s, then there’s Taj, who goes above and beyond to impress his guests with an eclectic mix of jams and smooth music! His energy is intoxicating!
Caleb - San Francisco
Taj was the DJ at a formal that my wife and I had attended and honestly it was one of the best parties I have been to in a long time. There were people of all ages and backgrounds there and he had everyone on the dance floor having a good time. He’s very easy to get along with which makes the experience very pleasant. I highly recommend Taj as your choice for a DJ
Tawny - San Francisco
I cannot say enough good things about the DJ we hired for my daughter's surprise 10th-anniversary party! He was not only nice and fun, but he also had an incredible talent for creatively mixing different genres that kept everyone on their feet all night long. Even the kids, who we weren't sure would dance, had a blast! The DJ played all the 90s and 2000s hits that we requested, creating a nostalgic and energetic atmosphere that everyone loved. I highly recommend this DJ for any event – he truly knows how to keep the party going and ensure that everyone has a fantastic time. Thank you for making our celebration so memorable!
Jordan - San Jose
Really enjoy having Taj as our DJ. We were stressing as usual, planning the wedding and procrastinating on creating our playlist. He came through with a beautiful blend of all genre of songs and the guests were very pleased. On top of that he was very professional and easy to work with. Him and his wife did great at hyping people up on the dance floor, which we love. I would recommend him for all your special events!
Dan - San Francisco
We had the pleasure of having Taj Panganiban as the DJ for our event, and it was an unforgettable experience. With over two decades of experience, including six years as a professional, Taj brought an unparalleled level of expertise to our special day.
What makes Taj stand out is not just his remarkable DJ skills, but also the comprehensive services he offers. His Photo Booth addition was a hit among our guests, providing endless entertainment and memorable snapshots. Moreover, his active presence on Instagram kept us excited and informed in the lead-up to the event.
Taj's friendly demeanor made him a joy to work with. He seamlessly collaborated with some of the top Bay Area event planners and DJs, ensuring that every aspect of his performance was of the highest quality. His professionalism was evident throughout, and we appreciate the effort he put into making our event successful
Melissa - Sacramento
Taj was full of energy and really kept the crowd moving. It was a pleasure to have him. Taj is great at communication and making things as easy and stress free as possible. The way that he utilized an app to help us make our wedding music selections made the process easy and enjoyable! All the guest complimented him which is very pleasurable how entertaining was he the crowd moving, and I enjoyed all the sparklers and all the lights that were beautiful that were added onto it. He really listen to both my husband I different choice of music.
As someone who does Event Planning myself, I will definitely recommend him to future clients.
He is very energetic and has a lot of fun activities to add to it. If you and your wife/ husband have different music tastes, do not worry! Taj has you covered! Great addition for the music and great DJ I couldn't ask for anyone better.
David - Sacramento
Taj was very friendly and professional, he had everything mic'd up appropriately, great music selection and had everyone at the wedding on their feet dancing! Everyone loved the photo booth he brought. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and approachable DJ who tailored his entire set list to exactly match our needs and surpass our expectations. Tip: try to get the photo booth package if your budget allows...
